There was a time when we looked down at boards like RCBM for posting stuff like this... I get it, she's a Michigan fan, its the offseason, etc etc. I'll just say that I'm not a fan of threads like this.

And before you ask me why I would show up to a thread just to complain, would you say that if someone made a "hot moms" thread like I've seen on RCBM and I commented in that? Because this comment has the same idea, I'm trying to make a larger point.

we just have a new designation for threads that are intended to appeal to prurient interests? Instead of OT we call it LC (low content or lewd content). Clearly, there is an interest in such things even on a blog with a generally elevated standard of discourse.

I agree that this blog would have little value if it was "bewbs all day every day" (there are other sites for that). But, it would be less fun if the hardcore college football coverage was not sometimes punctuated with infantile humor, photos, videos, etc. . .

I think we used to have a good balance, but I've been seeing more and more of this stuff. Again it's just my opinion, but I'm not a fan. If we have enough to demand a seperate tag, I think we've gone waaaaay too far. Just look up Kate Upton pics if you want that, there will be more and they'll be hotter too.

I agree that the number of "open threads" and whatnot is getting to levels that are somewhat silly. I'm certainly a fan of females, but it seems like there's a reason to start an open thread every day. What are you drinking? It's Wednesday! It's Saturday! The Tigers are playing! The Mudhens are playing! It's Monday! I've got an ingrown hair!

Recruiting largely wrapping up early, no huge debates about the football team (hell, we got a week of commentary about whether our backup QB would/could/should get some snaps at WR), the return of Fort Schembechler...

Spring ball needs to get here. That way we can waste our time on the 75 seconds of sanitized practice film they release every day.

Magnus said, "I'm certainly a fan of females." That seems to be a bit of an understatement after looking at http://touchthebanner.blogspot.com/ (which I go to purely for the football commentary, and nothing else.)

This off-season has been especially rough. I delete plenty of stuff, but there seems to be an endless supply of Kate Upton out there. She's like the orcs from Lord of the Rings. Really, really attractive orcs.

We've tried to limit that damage by designating certain super good news threads as Kate-permissive. Not working. I'm running out of ideas.

President's Council on Physical Fitness. Kate showing the joys and benefits of getting out and staying active. Tell your HR department to get off their fat asses and embrace the Kate Upton motivational tapes.

get all this Kate exposure and get her to do all of this? I realize he's a photographer, but geez. I've seen him and he looks like a porno director, and a bad looking one at that. What is his hold on her?

The freeze frame alone (best wet t-shirt ever) is totally NSFW. I clicked on since it's early here and no one was around figuring it would be her dancing but the freeze frame is the full wet t-shirt so I closed as soon as I could (and then pulled it up on my iPhone ;).

So, yeah, I'd just say NSFW as a blanket since it's, let's just be honest here, the closest thing to actual nudity.

It's one thing to be a fan of a school that never attended Michigan, it's another to be a fan of a fan of a person that never attended Michigan. It becomes a problem for me when the board collectively reveres the girl and brings her up at every opportunity, highjacking threads.
She is a song on the radio that was kinda catchy but has since been so overplayed that I just want to change the station when I hear her.

I have a "cool story bro" for you guys. Kinda met Kate Upton a few weeks ago. She was at MSG in New York for the Stanley Cup finals (I forget which game, I went to most of them) sitting behind the bench close to where I was sitting. Someone pointed her out but I didn't think much of it. After the game, I went out for dinner with my client and his family. One of my client's teammates walks in with his (smoking hot) girlfriend who is apparently really close friends with Kate Upton. Kate came in briefly and we went and talked to them. I was introduced to her and she kind of just did the wave-nod but that was as exciting as it got.

I don't know if that was a story worth telling or not but that's how it went.

The title tells you what's up. That's great, and enough for me. If someone wants to go to the link, they know what they're getting. It even is marked NSFW. In other words, I approve of the way this thread was done.

I'm with BISB as regards embeds and GIFS. Those are harder to ignore than links, especially at work. This also includes photos that are pasted into the thread.

The one thing I don't get is why someone would come to mgoblog for bewbs, etc. I come to mgoblog for all things Michigan. If I want to see bewbs, there are other places to find them. I saw them today. In 3D. Bouncing. In real life. Before I left for work. Great way to begin the day. But completely irrelevant to mgoblog.

There are a ton of other OT things I'd rather read about. Michigan Solar Cars. Photos of campus right now. An update on the the Crisler renovation. Restaurant reviews in Ann Arbor. The state of the University. Photos inside the dorms. Interesting research or papers at Michigan. More interviews with mgoblog illuminati. Photo essays of mgoblog illuminati. Tailgate recipes. A post of cool Michigan stuff, and where you can buy it. The economy in Michigan. What's going to happen to Detroit? What should happen to Detroit? The relationship between the Governor of Michigan, the University of Michigan, the Mayor of Detroit, and the City of Detroit. An mgoblog interview with Dave Brandon. With Brady Hoke. Mattison. Borges. Beilein. President Coleman. (Aren't there some mgoblog readers who have connections with them? Who could get them to sit down with Brian or Ace or Heiko to answer questions?) Interviews with former Michigan athletes. Tom Brady, Jalen Rose. Rich Leach. Anthony Carter. (Aren't there mgobloggers who know them, who could get them to talk with Brian or Ace or Heiko?) A series of articles on all the Michigan athletic facilities, and the master plan for the next five years. Guest articles (Johnny, Ramzy, EDSBS.)

point taken. I was trying to say that I like boobs, but don't come here to mgoblog for them. I included the statement about boobs to indicate that I like them. But I can see that this kind of undercuts my original point. If I had just said "I like boobs a lot, but I don't come here to see them" that would have been more succinct and to the point. I Failed. Sigh.

Regardless of the character on "How I Met Your Mother", Doogie would be more interested in dating Magnus than Kate Upton. Hate to break the news but facts are facts. How many days until we break fall camp??
